I'm getting an error when I try to schedule a backup system every day at a
certain time. (0x8070005)
I'm using an Admin account. ???

Is there any software that can backup files without changing them into a
backup format?
If I have 1000 files in 100 folders I'd like to see 1000 files in 100
folders in the backup location.
Does any backup software do this?
And it would have to be done incrementally so you're not backing up the
same thing over and over for nothing.

Try robocopy.exe. Works great, does all of the above.

I have used the free app from www.xxcopy.com for 10 years
and still prefer it. It offers dozens of parameters for detailed
application and its /clone parm works well.

Good app; but it won't back up files that are "in use", meaning the
operating system can't be backed up with it.

Great app; but it won't back up files that are "in use", meaning the
operating system can't be backed up with it.

As long as you aren't trying to back up you operating system, WinZip is an
excellent program and allows you to create "jobs" for single click backups
of various types, whatever you prefer.

To do what you want though requires a "copy" function, not backup or
imaging. Then again, ANY of the backup/imaging programs let you see the
individual folders and files in Restore mode or even in Backup mode.
They also provide compaction. You are limiting yourself by insisting on
being able to see all individual files with Explorer; it's not necessary.
Xcopy, XXCopy, Norton Ghost, Acronis True Image, WinZip, ntbackup.exe which
comes with every XP OS are all decent choices for backup or imaging disks.
With XXCopy (xxcopy.com) you should know a bit about the command prompt
since it's a command line tool, but once the commands are figured out, they
can be run from a batch file. It's also blazingly fast since it doesn't
have to manipulate the gui much.

HTH,
